BIG LIP, SMALL LIP, or NO LIP which do you like best?

Guys, Curious to know what people here think looks best on the 2010 Camaro.

Big Lip is around 4 inches
Small Lip is around 2 inches
No Lip is well, no lip...lol

Here is a 4 inch by COR



Here is Tonys car it looks like a 3.5 inch lip, it maybe a 4 inch



This is another forum members car with a 5 inch rear lip



These are CCWs with a 2.5-3 inch lip



Another CCW looks to be a 2.5-3 inch lip



Another CCW



Here is a 2 inch lip give or take from VIP





Pedders car, it appears to be a 3 inch lip



No lip SLP


Sema car little lip



Thanks
Jon

depends on the wheel. But I tend to like the small lip better.

I am not sure the huge lips I have been seeing on Camaros does not thrill me as much as it does on my Corvette.

Photoshops are nice but real photos always so the truer representation IMO.

Jon -

I completely agree with Milk. The rims on that yellow car just blow me away. Especially the second set. Wow !!

Don't know yet what BS/Offset I will need, but the car is being mini-tubbed as we speak and we are going to put a 345/45Z18 on the back for the strip. I guess the 18's are the smallest diameter that will clear the rear Brembos. (Does that agree with what you have heard?) I spoke with the tire manufacturer and they said the optimal rim for the particular tire is 13", but I may stick with a 12". I am sure you have data on what fronts will fit. It will have Pfadt coil overs up front if that changes any clearances. PM me if you don't want to post a quote here. I am interested. What is the lead time to get a set? Only one sticky question - are they SFI approved or do you have some reasonable strength/stress test data.

Sorry to pound you with so many questions, but I have to get the right set the first time.

Hey one other thought - since you are in Florida, maybe I could drive down some time and check out some.

Thanks Jon.
-Bruce

I have always had big lip wheels on my 4th gens (CCW's or I-Forged), but I'm just not feeling it on the 5th gen. Those Vip's look great imo. I'm thinking 2" or no lip.

I like the CCW's and the SEMA car. I don't like it when they have a deep dish kinda lip.
